'DAUM( Extiadsfrom The Mnr•tring P apers ,M arch ‘,29,18 6: • {Nio:W TIMES/ The Sudden Death of the Duke of Mathieu De Montmorency has produced a striking sen= satlon in Paris, where that distioguished Noble- Mill was looked on with universal respect, eves* by those to whom his political opleions were ex tretnely obnoxious. lie is best known this country, by the circumstance of his having been Minister of Foreign A !lairs, and Ambassador of France to the Congress of Verona, and having resigned his seat in the Cabinet on account of M. De .Villele's opposition to the Spanish war; but his earlier history, which is well known in France, rendered him there a personage of peculiar note and interest. He is frequently spoken of as the primmer Baron (Archer; but that distinction pro- PtriY belonged to his cousin the Duke De Mont• morency, the head of. that very ancient and illus trious family, who derived their name from the estate of Montmorency, near Paris, the first that is known to have borne the title of a Barony in France. Mathieu is an early Christian name in that family, having been borne in the 12th cen tury, by Montmorency, the Grand Constable of France, who married a daughter of Henry 1. of England. From that time to the present, the Montmorencys have filled some of the : highest stations in the French Monarchy, and their name is attached to so many glorious recollections, that it carries with it a sort of . magic charm to the ears of Frenchmen. These circumstances gave a wonderful eelai to the conduct of the Vicomte Mathieu de. Montmorency, in the beginning of the Revolution ; for, being a young man, tired with the grand ideas of liberty then prevalent, he was the licit to deposit, on tile , • table of the Constituent. Assembly, his titles of Nobility, as a sacrifice to the new and fascieating doctrine of equality. No OOP, from that hour to this, ever doubted the perfect purity of his motives—but, U 145 t lie l% as soot' undeceived as to the tendency of his aCtioll4. lie found that they had aided the triumph of a ferocious and setigninary faction— thet they had,helped to overturn a throne whiCh tae respected, and alters which. ho adored ; that they had clothed his country in meriting, and deluged it with blood ; and that, after all, the very name which he bore was a crime, and the faith that he professed was an object of hatred and persecution, He became a voluntary exile, and in Switierlmitl found a shelter, by the. kindness of Natiallikl ste Stael. Tormented however, with that home-sickness, which so natural to all who love their country, he returned to France in 17VS, only to be thrown into prison, front which, however, he was, after some lime, released, The scenes which he had thus witnessed, were of a nature to Make hint seek consolation in the sentiments of religion ; and he maY, perhaps, his pardoned, it . lie even carried those lienlintetlis an excess. For many years he devoted himself to nrithing but svorks of charity, but even these could not exeinpt hint from the lynx-eyed suspirions of tyranny. Ile was banisl;ed by Linonapart e in 181.1., and thought he obtained his recall, was always kept under the surveillance of Police. At length the li:lppy era of 1814 arrived, the tyrant. was overthrown, and the Vicomte de Montmorency was the first to hasten to Nancy, to join Moesieer, now Charles X., whom he accompanied to' Paris as his Aid-de. Itittitt, and received a distinction still more flatter. ing, the a ppnintmen t orChcvalier d illoeneur, to the illustrious daughter of Louis In pursuance of this duty he attendee{ the Prittcyss to lioutdeaux, anti after seeing her safe to London, joined Louis at. Ghent. ll<y the; battle of Waterloo, he was once more restored to his country ; and we can, of: our own knowledge, testify the deep sense' which he entertained of the services of 411 gland to 1111, common cause of Europe, and his earnest desire 3 to cultivate seetiteents of Mutual esteem between two nations, made, as he said, to appreciate each other's good qualities. — If he afterwards appeared at Venom, iu some thing Wt.(' opposition to the views of Eegland with p teid to the .Spanish war, it WIIS not from any sAinieutioe of respect for the .Finglish character ; lit (Urns views perfectly. CO,olol4ible (as he tlipuglit) wish the interests of both nations. His conduct, however, on that occasion, wits uni versally utimitted to be' frank and honourable, and I.oeis X Vil t., though Ito .found hitn , self obliged to accept M. De Montmorency's resignation, testified his opieido of his services by raising him to a Dukedorno-..The !Juke Ma. Wen : remained ever afterwards. out of office, but enjoyed ihi untionnded personal confidence of the Royal Family, by whom the extrt me. fervour or his religious sentiments was not regarded us flay defect its his character. On the contrary,; it seems to have determined the choice of him to NUperintend the studies of the young Puke tic Bordeaux ; at least, it is certain, that the party of the Clergy. hailed that choice with great de light. The Duke too was recently chosen a Member, of the French Academy ; but even at the reading of his lnaugural speech, he appeared to he suffering ander a serious illness, which ra pidly grew worse,' so that, about a fortnight ago, he was considered to -he in imminent danger. 110± - seented shortly afterwards to recover a little, but it was a : mere lightning before death. Think• ing himself better, he went out to several Churches to oiler up thanksgivings to the Author Goodneks. At length, he etude to the Cintrelt of St..Thetnaa Aquinas; but he had scarcely keelt dawn, - When he was struck with i silthien and fatal shock, and fell dead on the pa 'Verney t. rTlit; :rturs.j 'ow Park mpers of 'Sunday arrived last night. it a ppears that a Wolin'discussion on the slave' trade" took pittre on the preceding day itr the o h o t imir of Deputies. yko debate arose on peicilons from the merrhoots 0f Havre anti Paris, praying that . more - severe and 'niore efficacintis litta'ruitOtt he'adopted againq this odious traffic. The pvtitioners Hoert that the slave.trada is car ried uttd"r the French flag with increasing neavity , ;' that the operation of the existing lows only adds to its barbarity, as three or four hun- tired negroea are , now crammed into a , space which would fornierly have been allotted' t o oil y one fourth of that number. Hence the deaths are frightfully nun - mercies m and the petitioners cal ciliate that the sfave-ships throw annually over board at least 3,000 of the unfortunate victims of this horrible traffic. In the report of the com mittee on this' petition, a hope is expressed that the facts are exaggerated, and the measures taken by the GoVernMent to repress-the slave trade are enumerated: It la,however, acknow ledged that the existence of such a traffic is a disgrace to a civilized nation, but it is alleged that making the slave,trado piracy would not be an effectual prevention, because the rigour of penal laws often causes impunity. This argument seems to imply that the moral guilt of the slave trade is not so strongly felt in France as in other court- tries, where no difficulty has been found in the application of the law of piracy. The Committee proposed that the petition should be referred to . the President of the Council. The object of the petition was lost sight of in the debate, in conse quence of some observations made by General Sebastiani, who said that a 'white slave trade was going on us well as a black—that the French Ministers hail allowed Turkish agents to recruit , openly for the Pacha of Egypt. M. de .Villele, l in vindication of the Government, referred to the precautions against the slave trade enumerated in the report of the Committee, and observed, that the Ministers had pushed these pre cautions as far as was compatible with the free dom of trade. In all the Colonies measures were adopted for seizing slave ships, and those measures were even extended to ships trading to foreign colonies ; for a prosecution i, now pend leg in the Court of Cessation, agaiost the owners of a ship for carrying on the slave-trade -with a' colony not belonging to France. Aft e r this des fence hey adverted to the charge respecting the Greeks, iu contradiction of which he read ex tracts from a 'dispatch of Rear-Admiral Itegny, Commanding the French squadron in the Levant. The Rear-Admiral stated that a mong the traits ports which accompanied the Turkish fleet wlsich arrived on the 3d of November off Cape Malapan, Were were 3 Tuscan, 8 Aus trian, 7 English, 3 Sardinian, t Spanish, 1 American, but not One French. In answer to the . charge of the treasure of the Egyptian fleet having been conveyed on heard of a French ship of war, M. de Villele said, that time officers who lent'themselvea to that transaction, hail been dis missed ; and that for permitting it, the com. mender .of the station had been recalled, and Admiral de Regny appointed in his stead. With regard to certain vessels .building in ports of the Mediterranean,. the Minister observed, that the Governme n t could not refuse an accom modation of that kind to Powers with whom the country was at peace. A few years ago, the Des? of Algiers had built two frigates in French posts. The l'acha of Egypt had also been nilowed to build a frigate and a corvette, but he had not been permitted .to arm them. It was admitted to be'pOssible that there might he agent* in France, who recruited for the Paella of Egypt ; but the . Minister maintained that. there was no violation of neutrality OH the part of the Qovernment. Respect for the maititehunce of neutrality, he said, was carried so far, as al. most 7 . t0 endanger F r ench commerce, oo which the Greeks commit piratical depredations. In the midst of this debate, an orator, of the name of Dutton, ventured to assert that England still carries on the slave trade. This striking in stance of disregard to truth seems to have re ceivsd no contradiction, and to have excited no surprise °. _....M......1 MORNING POST.) It is as we expected.—As the time draws near for the arrival in England of Lord. Charles So. merset, those who have been for many months incessantly engaged in the task of blackening his character and striving to the utmost of their fee ble influence to deprive him of the chances of a fair and impartial investigation of the complaints preferred against him, begin to recede from the ground they had taken in all the premature confidence of triumph, and to betray, what we all along suspected, that their spirit is as tias. tautly as their disposition has been long she wn to be malevolent, and their principles afro clout. We are now told, that in the forthcoming charges against the Noble Lord, a good deal is likely to depend on the evidence of a single Gentleman, and on the weight and efficacy at tached to it by those who sit in judgment upon his Loml , hip. And is it indeed come to this ? Ms the mountain been in labour so long, and is this at last the ridiculous mouse it produces ? if we had believed the cowardly back biters, who for months, we believe we might say for years, have been employed in calumniating the Noble Lord, we should have thought that the only difficulty was to spare a fleet of whips out of our whole warlike and commercial ma. rine, of sufficient number and magnitude, to convey the host of witnesses ready and eager to attest the enormous delinquencies of his Lordship. And this at last to be reduced to a single person. It is not a retreat this—it is a precipitate and disorderly flight ;it oppresses the whole cause of the accusations against Lord Charles, under such a load a t once of obloquy and ridicule, that even if his Lord ship had really heeu a very \Torres, we should question if the eloquence Of any modern Cicero could prove adequate to its redemptasion. It is an excellent thing, after all-rilowittg, every other featly excelknt thing flows—from the abundant kindness of nature towards the human race, that the men whose taste and disposition impel thorn to take under their nursing care the worst of causes, should be impelled, almost invariably, 15140 to stifle them by excessive f o ndness. Not only, however, are we given now to understand that this person is to be the main prop of the accusations against Lord Charles So merset ; but we learn, alas ! from the same uutbority, that the credibility of the witness himself requires propping . . We should imagine the frimals of that gentleman must tremble for him, when they find what sort of advocates are pushing themselves forward in his defence. We have seen how little assurance their boldest ate,. tulle of defiance affords against their running away, when engaged even In the more animat ing and congenial service of attacking, reputa tion, what steadfastness and vigour they may be ea.::: anxiety d tc) t o o n • y d i o s i t :l e a yw whose s h e e t character occupied t h e i : 'fence, becomes - a question therefore of some its assume, de- a right to protect. The anxiety natural in such a case must however be redoubled when it is seen that no other attempt to vindicate the character, of the witness than what consists in traducing . that of the Noble Governor of the Cape. "If .(say these judicious advocates of character) we . hear of attempts : to blacken the character of this fatal witness, to run him down by emissaries sent to England from the Cape,and thus raise a prejudice against him in relation to his transactions with Lord ,Charles Somerset, we shall know what to think of it." The information conveyed to the public by this passage, casting out of it the gratuitous and unsupported insinua tion against the Noble Lord, is simply that the conversation of persons coming from the Cape is not-generally much in - praise of the gentleman. It might be supposed, indeed, that the declared opinions of persons coming from the spot were of a most decided complexion, in re spect to the prospective witness in question, from the desperate : nature of the attempt thus made to get rid of their effect, if it were, not known that there is a class of advocates who are seldom found in possession of a judgment sufli den ly cool to prevent them from going beyond the exigencies of their case ; justice towards the witness, however, demands that this consideration should in the present instance limit the infer ences we might otherwise be disposed to draw. We are told, in allusion to an amusement, of which in common we believe with most Eng lish gentlemen, Lord Charles Somerset is fond, " that there is no more decisive expedient it jockeyship than to bribe the adversary's farrier, and so get' the horse we are most afraid of laruki before the race begins." We are at a loss which most to admire, the delicacy or force of thisAl lusiou ; we will however venture to remind those who have employed it, that there is another ex pedient at least equally decisive, that of fasten ing upon the adversary the undeserved odium of mal-practices, after we have been such blun , derers as to bet upon a horse already lame, with he shabby intention of getting back a stake. [MORNING HERALD.] The Swiss Cantons, it appears, are not the only Government that let out their people as mercenaries to foreign Sovereigns. A. similar contract, .or capitulation, as it is termed, has been Concluded by the French Government with the Pacha of Egypt, and. in pursuance of it, fifty French Officers: are on their way to Egypt, where they: are to enjoy full pay on the Egyptian establishment, with the honours of the Urban, retaining at the same time in France their half-pay, and chances Of promotion. The Avoritt of it is, that these officers are going to 'engage in the cause ef barbarism, slavery, and 'Mallomet, against religion, liberty, and the Greeks. The whole liberal and religious feeling of Europe Will revolt against these officers, no doubt, and their con duct is altogether indefensible. &kit would be well to try those, or some of them, who.cry out against this apostacy, by the standard of their own sentiments. The merchants and manufacturers of France, and those of England, whatever their opinions, whether Liberal, Jesuitical, or Evan gelical, do not hesitate to make exchanges of produce, manufactures, and money, with the Paella of Egypt, though they must be well aware that the profits which the said barbarian and infi del. Paella derives thence, reinforce him as effee- wally 'attainst the Greeks, as the skill and blood of the apostate French mercenaries. Sup pose the Pacha of Egjpt came into the Stock Exchanges of London end Paris to contract for a loan, offering high interest, and any thing of a tempting security, would the most Chriitian of our Christian capitalists have any scruple in dealing with him, though they knew the proceeds of the loan were to be used against their Christian brethren in Greece--and, further, that the future deprecia tion of the stock must fall upon their Christian brethren at home ? A 9 for the Hebrew gentle men—they are neutrals, and at liberty to deal with either party upon the best bidding. An evening contemporary expresses a lofty confi dence that these officers are of 'the Bouttpartean school, and calls upon the French journal which states the fact to confer the further obli gation of telling whether these 50 tenet ades are of those who " served under the banners of Ali Buonaparte," or of the soldiers of Conde end La Vendee. 'Here the c ro h r u i l l i le e t t ri l i g ca e atse i n s ;, j t u fo s a c ri a ft s ,,itrsvaassr h featticitit. deansown, it,rteorteyprgofat.:ehieisniyn tkhleand followers of Conde, afterwards wore the uniform and 'received pay under the banners of this vary Ali Buonaparte and that swarms o f them infested his ante chamber, from the moment h e . h a d one to :receive them, excepting only during hi s retirements at Elba anti St. Helena. The truth is, that pure. virtue and heroic disinterestedness are so rare and unnatural in our high state of-civi lization and philosophy, the less people reproach their neighbours with the want of them the better. One party, however, deserves reprobation in this affair—always supposing' the statement true—viz. the French Government. An indiVidual devotes his life, industry, and resources, as his own discre tion, In any way not forbidden by the laws, and at his own peril in all cases; but ,a Government is the conservator of international law and ethic s ; and huts higher duties to perform—it is without immediate and direct controul, and therefore en. der:a -more solemn responsibility.

Several gold coin instantly tumbled out, and the fellow, after helping himself plentifully, decamped, and has never since been heard of. The coin left con sisted of 30 jacohuses, and 150 smaller gold coin, of the reign of James 1. some of the size of a 7s. piece, others as large as a half-guinea, and others of an intermediate size.

Yf aley, one of Carlile's shopmen,' who was convicted at the om Bailey, in June, 1824, of publishing blasp hemous libels, and sentenced to three years' imprisonment, wasbrought before' Mr. Alderman Lucas yesterday , in the custody of Harris, the Turnkey of Neargate, to enter into his own recognizanCe in 1001. to be of good behaviour for the rest of his life (which was a part of the sentence of the Court),.his Majfsty having been pleased to relietre him from that part of the judgment which directed that he should be imprisoned until June,lB27. The signature to the document, which was dated the 27th inst., authorising the prisoner's liberation, was in his Majesty's ordinary, firm, f'ree, and graceful style. The prisoner went through the necessary form, and was discharged. There remain in Newgate four of Haley's coadjutors, two of whom were sentenced to an equal term of imprisonment with him. MARLBOROUCIH-STREET. CUMOUS CasE or' DlGAmY.—Yesterday Joseph lilerchan, a smart .dressed young man, who has been repeatedly before the presiding Magistrates of ills office, on : the various charges of polygamy, bigamy, and deserting his wife , wa s a g ain brought up in the custody of Avis, before Mr. CON4VST, upon the former charge for examination. -- From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner in the early part of his lite was a valet, and of late years a waiter • whilst in the former capacity he went to Oxford, and during his stay in that city, he married, upon the lath of December, 1810, in the ' parish church of St. Mary's, Charlotte Norgrove ; and at that, ceremony there were present the relatives of the female. The issue of that marriage were three or four children, of whom two are living. The prisoner and his wife came to London, and there he some time after deserted her. After that he went and lived as a footman in the family of a gentleman of the name of Leman, in whose , family Elizabeth Palmer, the second wife, lived. She became with child by the prisoner, which coming' to the knowledge 6f the family, it was proposed that he ghoul& marry her, to which proposal he consented. The second niar. , riage was solemnized upon the 25th of June, 1822, at the dis trict church of All. Souls, Mary-la-borine. Her also he ulti mately deserted. The prisoner then went and resided in the west of England, out of which circumstance has arisen the pi'e sent charge. Upon the prisoner being now put to the bar, Mr. TAYLOR'r solicitor, residing in Tunbridge street , stated , that he attende d on behalf of the Trustees, to proceed against the prisoner, Jo seph Merchan, alias William Emerton, for having feloniously' intermarried with Florence Carter, during the lives of his tirsc and second wives. The prisoner had found means to get intro duced into the family of %liss Carter, where he passed by the name of William Emerton, and having represented himself as a bachelor, paid his addresses to Miss Florence Carter , w ith whom he found means to elope. They were married at the Parish Church of St. Mary'a, Lambeth, upon the 12th of Dec. 1025, by banns. Airs. P. Baker deposed, that she knew the prisoner, and was present at the marriage which was solemnized between him and Florence Carter, he then stated himself to be a single man. The prisoner contracted the marriage in the name of %Valli= Emton ; she had known him to have gone by the name of Merc er han, but thought that ► to have been occasioued by pecuni ary difficulties. Mr. CONANT—Have you any witness as to the first mar- rilige ? Mr. T AY LOIt—No Sir; it will be very expens ive for the parties to send to O xford for the necessary witnesses ; and I, therefore, wish you to remand him , and in the end to commit him for trial before the Surry Sessions, as the offence took place within that county. Mr. CONANT—I cannot pledge myself to that, for at present I have scarcely evidence sufficient to remand him ; and I should wish to know what witnesses you intend to produce. Mr. TAYLOR.—I intend to prove the two last marriages, which will be sufficient. Mr. CONANT—I do not perfectly understand who is the pro secutor ? 1 am," exclaimed a little fellow, starting up from the bench, and presenting . himself before the Magistrate. Mr, Coxarr—Nl'ho are you. Sir ? The little man, upon having this question put to him, entered into a long, and, at the same time, curious statement; from which it appeared, that his name is Davies, a Welch Attorney, but not having sufficient practice, he became involved, and wash prisoner In the King's Bench ; aft, r being discharged, he happened to live in the neighbourhood of t 1 e prisoner and his wife. When hav ing become acquainted with the lady, he so won upon her, that in three weeks after idle had resigned her hand and heart to the prisoner, she gave them in turn to him, and he and !Hiss Carter were married. For, by the prisoner being in confine ment, that part of his wife's history was suppressed, and lie had therefore believed her - to have been as she had represented her self—single. Since then she had decamped from him. Mr. TAYLOn, in explanation, said, that as far as he could understand, the case was this :—Miss Florence Carter wag ell" titled to a legacy of 2001., which she was to receive upon bein g married, but, by the prisoner being taken into custody, s he was prevented from receiving the money, and she had therefore married Mr. Davies, under the imression of getting the l l which money she had intended to t a ke to the prisoner if l e a d escaped, and to have duped little Mr. Davies. When the statement of poor Mr. Davies, and the n elucidati Al o of the case was given, it occasioned every , p er son to burst ( i t into alaugh, and in which the worthy Magistrate j o i ne d, which the little Welchman bore with extreme good htllllolo. Upon the laugh subsiding, Mr. Co srasrr said, he should re mand the prisoner for a further examination.
